Student Learning at Lock Haven University

All colleges and universities use multiple approaches to measure student learning. Many of these are specific to particular disciplines, many are coordinated with accrediting agencies, and many are based on outcomes after students have graduated.

Lock Haven's assessment process focuses on student learning, because student learning is our passion and the heart of our mission, but also seeks to assess all other important goals in areas such as academic support services, facilities, finance, technology, and student life.

The purpose of assessment is to enhance the quality of the education that Lock Haven provides its students and the service that the university provides to the community and the commonwealth.

Pilot Project to Measure Core Learning Outcomes

Colleges and universities participating in the College Portrait measure the typical improvement in students' abilities to think, reason, and write using one of three tests. This is part of a pilot project to better understand and compare what students learn between their freshman and senior years at different colleges and universities.

Lock Haven is currently in administering the ETS Proficiency Test.
